Bonding
|
- How atoms interact depending on their electron configurations
- Valence e- are the only things we care about here |
|
Formal Charges
|
FC = V - ½B - L
- Tells us the electron configuration of each atom in a compound. - Best configuration of bonds is when FC=0, or when the charge is the least |
|
Resonance
|
- "Average" of Formal charge
- Determined through experiments determining the bond length |
|
Covalent Bond
|
- "Sharing" of electrons between valence electrons of two atoms
|
|
Polar Covalent Bond
|
- Polarity is when one atom has a greater electron density concentrated around it than another.
- Greater difference in electronegativity, the greater dipole moment |
|
Coordinate Covalent
|
- When one atoms shares both of its unshared pair of electrons, the bond breaks and the electrons leave
- A Lewis Base donates a pair of electrons to a lewis acid! |
|
Ligand
|
- Lewis Base
- Donates both electrons to make a coordinate covalent bond |
|
Ionic Bonds
|
- Bonds held together by an electrostatic attraction between a cation and an anion
- qq/r |
|
Ion-Dipole
|
- Polar molecule attracted to ions
- Basically between a +/- charge and a dipole |
|
Dipole-Dipole
|
- Between two polar molecules
|
|
Hydrogen Bonding
|
- Special form of dipole-dipole
- Between a "H-Bond Donor" and an "H-Bond Acceptor". - H Bond donors: N, O, F, H - H Bond acceptors: N, O, F, lone pair - Increases BP significantly |
|
Ranks of Bonding Strengths
|
Covalent Bonds > Ionic > Ion-Dipole > Dipole-Dipole (H-Bonds) > London Dispersion
|
|
London Dispersion
|
- Instantaneous dipoles induced in two neighboring nonpolar molecules
- "Default" force that is always there - Think gases at room temperature |
|
Vespr Theory
|
- Shapes of molecules depicted by set model
- Since electrons repel each other, they want to be as far away as possible |

|
Ionic Solids
|
- Held together by electrostatic attractions between cations and anions in lattice structure
- Solids are ionic if their electronegativity is different - Strongest, solid at RT |
|
Network Solids
|
- Covalent bonds make a lattice
- One big molecule, very strong, very hard at room temperature - Example: Diamond, Quartz |
|
Metallic Solids
|
- "Cloud" of valence electrons move through the solid
- Good conductors of heat and electricity |
